In this study, quantitative structure-retention relationship (QSRR) methodology employed for modeling of the retention times of 16 banned pesticides in nano-liquid chromatography (nano-LC) column. Genetic algorithm-multiple linear regression (GA-MLR) method employed for developing global and consensus QSRR models. The best global GA-MLR model was established by adjusting GA parameters. Three de...

We present an algorithm for nonlinear consensus in complex networks. Our motivation draws from analysis on the algorithm based on a weighted linear update protocol. Comparison of the asymptotic with early convergence rate encourages an alternative algorithm which exploits both stages.

This paper presents an algorithm which solves exponentially fast the average consensus problem on strongly connected network of digital links. The algorithm is based on an efficient zooming-in/zooming-out quantization scheme.

Wepropose a class of discrete-time dynamic average consensus algorithms that allow a group of agents to track the average of their reference inputs. The convergence results rely on the input-to-output stability properties of static average consensus algorithms and require that the union of communication graphs over a bounded period of time be strongly connected. The only requirement on the set ...
